FactoryTalk Optix: Dynamically Loading Screens Based on Windows User Account

Posted By *RDZ* Apr 16, 2026 01:55:00 PM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
Hi everyone, I'm working in FactoryTalk Optix Studio and trying to replicate a solution (link below) I previously used, but with a different data source. In an earlier project, I used a dynamic link + key converter on a Panel Loader to load different screens based on the client's IP address. That ...

@asemlucben Thank for sharing this project. I was able to test the application and it definitely what I'm looking for. However, when i try to duplicate the button actions I am unable to drill down into the Main Window Properties to select the "ScreenId" variable created. Any suggestions? - ...

RE: Optix Alarms Showing Incorrect Timestamps

You're right, it ended up being the time on the PLC that was off. I don't know how I didn't think to check that first. Since I'm still pretty new to Optix, I assumed it had something to do with the application itself. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. ------------------------------ RDZ ...

Optix Alarms Showing Incorrect Timestamps

Hi all, I'm having an issue where both my Active Alarms and Alarm History are not populating with the correct timestamps. I already verified that my Optix panel has the correct time, but the alarms are still off. Has anyone run into this before or know what could be causing the timestamp mismatch? ...

Hey all, I'm working in Optix and I'd like to have my navigation buttons change color or style based on which screen is currently loaded in the Panel Loader. I've assigned a variable to each screen called screenid, but I'm not sure how to link that to my key-value converter. I also have separate ...

Hello All, I am interested in making a circular gauge look similar to the screenshot below. The current available circular gauge doesn't seem to have many options to make like this. If you have any recommendation, please let me know. ------------------------------ RDZ --------------------- ...

SUCCESS!!!! My dashboards are now displaying their own screens while only running 1 Optix application. My solution: instead of using the dynamic link and key-converter to replace Windows (which from what I read isn't possible). I used the dynamic link and key-converter on the Panel Loaders properties. ...

Okay, so I went ahead and deleted my Overview Window completed and ran the project without it. See error in screenshot below. it seems the key-converter is not resolving my IPs. ------------------------------ RDZ ------------------------------

@AutomateSHANE Thank you for expanding on this and including the project file. That really cleared things up and it's definitely something I want to replicate. I set up my project in a similar way, but I'm getting some errors, and it isn't working as intended. See screenshot below. Both my dashboards ...

@AutomateSHANE This seems more like what I'd like to do. All my clients have static IPs, so that part shouldn't be an issue. I understand the idea of using the key value converter, but what I'm not clear on is how to actually tie the IPs to their corresponding screens. I tried looking for the (Session) ...

I had the same thought initially, but when I tried it out Optixs didn't allow me to create more than one Native Presentation or more than one Web Presentation. I can create multiple main windows, but that's it. After doing some more searching online, it looks like the only option is to build an overview ...

Thanks for clarifying. Based on what you said, I think it makes the most sense for us to keep a single runtime and just design different screens for the different use cases. What I'm not clear on is how to set up each client so they only see the screens that apply to them. Is there a way to configure ...

Running Multiple Optix Applications on One Server

Hello All, My main question is about running multiple Optix applications on the same server. I created an Optix application that is running on a server and I purchased a 21 token package for it. I don't think all of them were used, maybe around 7-10. I just wasn't sure how many I would need to start ...

Hi everyone, I'm working on a project that involves using a Keyence LR-X100 sensor in Studio 5000 V35 ladder logic to determine the maximum height of an object, detect when it reaches its peak and count the max peaks of the object.
